Vol 2 Chapter 321: Green Grass Manor

This journey is not very long, lasting less than five minutes.
　　 After passing this open green lawn and the azure blue sky, Greengrass Manor came into view.
　　 is a magnificent house, flashing from the end of the lawn.
The first thing that appeared in front of them was a gorgeous round arch. It looked like a bronze gate with pretty patterns engraved on it... Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the one that appeared where the door handle should be. Elk head made of bronze.
　　 When they approached, the elk on the bronze gate suddenly said: "Who is the visitor, explain your intention?"
　　 is a bass with a certain degree of magnetism. There does not seem to be any hostility in the sound, making it very comfortable to listen to.
"I am the daughter of Diana and Andrew, Astoria Greengrass!" Astoria said softly, "The visitor is my friend Jon Hart, and there is a Phoenix, her name is... …"
　　 "A phoenix named Fox." Jon added.
　　 "Okay." The bronze elk's head raised its big horns: "Welcome to Greengrass Manor, Mr. Hart, and Miss Fox!"
　　 Only a creak was heard, and the round arch was opened.
　　……
　　 In the courtyard behind the gate, there is a fountain that sprays water into the sky.
　　 The falling water flower became crystal clear under the shining of the sun, and finally splashed on the dense and low thorns around and the tall and neatly trimmed hedges.
　　 "Welcome to Green Grass Manor!" Astoria happily made a please gesture.
　　 "I think I am honored, beautiful lady." Jon also bowed to her gracefully, and then followed her behind.
　　 They stepped on the hard and clean marble steps, stepped "bang" and "bang" footsteps, and walked past the fountain into the corridor.
The corridor is very wide, and the stone floor is covered with gorgeous carpets...The classical oil paintings and exquisite giant relief paintings on the walls stare at them intently, and from time to time they point at the two people here. Point and whisper.
　　 Astoria glanced at Jon with some worry, and offered him a hand.
　　 "It's okay." Jon smiled at her, then grabbed Astoria's hand again.
　　 At this time, a little thing in front of them blocked their way.
It can be distinguished that it is a small and old house elf; the paper-like skin is hung on her skeleton, and it does not match her luxurious golden coat (if it can be called a coat). .
　　 "My youngest mistress!" The house elf bent down and respectfully saluted to Astoria: "The most beautiful and lovely little princess of the Greengrass family..."
　　 Jon felt Astoria's palms feel a little hot, and she shook her head shyly: "Get up, Emily."
"Emily is our house elf. She has served the Greengrass family for sixty years. She has been here since my grandfather and grandmother." Astoria introduced to Jon, and then she Turned around and looked at the house elf:
　　 "Emily...this is Jon, my friend..."
"Emily is really very, very disappointed..." The house elf did not look at Jon at all, but looked at Astoria respectfully and disappointedly with her old eyes: "Emily most respected Little Master, actually wants to introduce Emily to a Mudblood with a foul smell..."
　　 "...The noble Greengrass Manor was actually stepped on by a dirty mudblood. How many times does poor Emily need to clean it to wash away the frightening stench......" The house elf still said endlessly.
"Shut up...Hurry up..." Astoria's face changed, she never expected that the house-elf, who had always been very kind to her since childhood, would say such things, she yelled in panic: "I order you to shut up, Emily..."
"The little master ordered Emily to silence, but Emily has the obligation to warn every member of the Greengrass family that staying with a mudblood is definitely the wrong choice..." the house elf whispered, then Suddenly her face changed, a hand severely stuck her throat, and then rushed to the pillar next to her:
　　 "Bad Emily...Bad Emily, she dared to disobey the little master's order...deserves to be punished...deserves to be punished..." As she said, she slammed her head against the pillar.
　　 "But Mudblood...the little master can never be with Mudblood..." Like schizophrenia, she was talking in two different voices.
　　 A loud cry like a scream suddenly sounded from behind Jon.
　　Phoenix opened her wings completely and flew in front of Jon-she was condescending, her golden eyes fixed on the house elf, and flames began to flash across the flaming feathers...
　　 The house elf's movements stopped abruptly, she almost collapsed to the ground, unable to make any sound... she didn't dare to look up or make any movements, but her body was trembling constantly.
　　 "Come back, Fox." Jon quietly ordered ~EbookFREE.me~ Phoenix gave the house elf a disdainful look, and then flew back behind Jon. When she flew back, she glanced at Jon with an inviting expression, as if to say again: "You have to add chicken drumsticks to me after I go back, no, add herbs..."
　　The house elf was so scared that he crawled around and escaped the corridor without daring to look back.
　　……
"Jon, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I didn't know she would say such things..." In the corridor, Astoria said with a trembling voice, "I swear... my mother It will never be like Emily..."
　　 The expression on Astoria's face was almost crying.
　　 "Nothing." Jon gently shook his head towards her, and at the same time reached out his hand to wipe her tears: "I'm not a kid anymore... And how can I be angry with a house elf."
　　 "Thank you...thank you..."
　　Unconsciously, they have come to the end of the corridor.
　　 In the front drawing room, a girl slightly taller than Astoria walked over.
　　 "Astoria, did you bring your boyfriend back?" While drinking tea with a teacup, she asked casually, "That Christopher Patrick?"
　　 pushed open the door of the meeting room, and saw Jon's face, the expression on Daphne Greengrass's face suddenly solidified.
　　 "Huh... Hart?" Her voice trembled: "You...you are actually alive..."
